I'm not saying this is 100% the best way to do it, But you wouldnt go far wrong with this. Its always better to train slightly over your goal, or your body will adapt to the disstance your running.
You may like to stick a few longer runs in there just to change things around.
Weight training will also help.
Make sure you include squats and lunges.

So for HIIT should I do 200 meters 8 times at first to develop the speed needed to run a 6 minute mile? Do that till I'm comfortably averaging a pace under 6 minutes for a miles. Than move to 400 meters for the same and than 800 meters? I've heard of this from other people that do the mile run.

I used this training program and brought my mile time to 5:03 in 8 weeks. You don't have to follow it religiously, but it did wonders for me. I think the HIIT program is highly overrated and is more likely to cause burnout than anything. A solid base is needed before incorporating interval training. Check out the link and good luck! A 6:00 mile is not out of reach...
